He said he didn't drink it cos he is coeliac which is a pretty good reason in my book. A celebration shouldn't be leaving you sick!

As has Oliver Cromwell
The Era of Tape has never left us!
For me being able to spell exsanguinated comes as a result of having a choir master who is obsessed with us singing every arrangement of "Ave Verum Corpus" going. And there are *lots* of them!
Looking pretty spectacular over North Dartmoor at the moment. Lights stretching across the whole sky.
V4 from "Christmas Carols Ancient and Modern",
W. B. Sandys (1833).
fear not, then said the Angel,
Let nothing you affright,
This day is born a Saviour
Of virtue, power and might;
So frequently to vanquish all
The friends of Satan quite
I think it's now time to move on to later verses. Should "wind" be pronounced to rhyme with "find"? Just how much should you stress the last word in "friends of Satan quite"?
What's the assumption on the power mix you are making for this? Are you thinking about a US based DC, or an Iceland one running on geothermal, or a Finnish one on hydro?
What does a “blend” of AI and physics mean for weather and climate modelling?
In this blog find out more about the potential future blend of AI and physics-based models, as well as steps the Met Office is taking to achieve ambitious aims.

Looks like anyone with tickets for day 5 will be disappointed. Heck, even those with day 3 tickets might be getting worried!
Have you noticed that the only ones who say that haven't actually tried the alternative? Difficult to say anything if you have tried the alternative mind you.
And AI has been around for ages too. People have been working on e.g. image classification with neural nets for many, many years.
My favourite cover of Edmund Fitzgerald, mostly cos I'm a sucker for dynamic contrast. youtu.be/8JLU9wXu-4M?...
You didn't take the cargo bike then?

"A supercomputer is a device for turning a compute bound problem into an I/O bound problem" (Ken Batcher) has had a large dollop of truth in my domain for many years and still does in your scenario.
First, catch your moose ...
I would have said Cray 1, but who would have had 3 of them?
Many thanks to the @gwr.com driver on the Exeter to Okehampton line tonight. Hit a landslip in foul weather and, despite being rather shaken by the experience, managed to get us safely to our destination. Top work!
Aw. What cute wee coo beasties!
A bit of all of them. As a computational scientist, I care about the science being done and the subsequent societal impact. As an RSE I care about the trustability and efficiency of code used to achieve this. As an HPC person I want to have the best system to be able to do all the above well.
Fancy working on improving computational performance of weather and climate codes? The Met Office has vacancies. careers.metoffice.gov.uk/join-us/sear... careers.metoffice.gov.uk/join-us/sear...
I get all the answers about "no queues", but thinking a bit broader I'd say "no surprises". i.e. I get the results, performance and queuing I expect. I can plan my work with this. Lots of implications from this for software stack management, capacity planning etc.
Or a cluster of 5, "hand"!
What a difference a few hours make. Now it is showing green grass and mist with no hint of the white stuff.
HPC folks giving an HPC answer...
Nah. My first computer looked more like a jumped up calculator - Sinclair zx81

Parser error!
Was that the one where I got a briefing at a sticky bar with an ice machine grinding away making it difficult to hear anyone. AMD had a few years of "interesting" briefing venues IIRC.
Ah, the Bourbaki theory of guru.
